Coconut palms are not native to the Florida Keys or any other part of the Americas, but they are sure attractive. They were brought to the New World from their native Tropical Asia by the European explorers, about 500 years ago. ( Most likely the Spaniards brought them to the Americas from the Philippines as these islands in Asia, as well as most of the Caribbean Islands of America were in their now lost empire. ) CMG.
